well good morning good day everyone
we're starting to do my merc it's in the
sa my mother will cut them hey the
caliph of the previous rabbit
uh page 192.
so welcome back marcia
so um you're based at gimbal thomas
uh which is the upcoming month
the day is the days when the rabbit
yachts of yoshitsu the author of these
mymorim
was released from his imprisonment
initially his death sentence on
gimmeltamos
of nineteen
um his death sentence was con
commuted to uh prison in casting amma
and ultimately youth base thomas he was
given
permission to be go free
and ever since then not only hasidim
but toro giants like haya moiser
and raphael brisker
[Music]
spoke very favorably about the rebel
yachts
and i documented it in some of my books
i printed an actual letter
that abhayam sent asking everyone to
give
funds to to help the release
of the rabbit i have an actual letter a
yi here in baroque park had a copy
and he gave it to me so the um
the uh the you the daily base of gimbal
tamos
although it's technically about uh
sadik and also something in the past
hours celebrated it
in a very very special way every year my
father-in-law who was a russian cousin
and his ilk of people
for them you based tamils was like
the greatest jump they'd even away more
than you test kiss slave
because it was personal there ever
their leader his life was on the line
and his life was spared
and they uh were most happy
so this mimer was said
i would base thomas tough pay test
two years later 1929.
let's see what the rebbe says
usually the passages are that the youth
gimbal thomas is is in is
the parsha of where it appears
how good are your tents jacob yaakov
your your your your
dwelling
in quotations the opposite of blessing
you know what was in his heart
avi what villain wanted to say was that
the
jews won't have should not have
shoes and study halls but they cannot
see us about the madrassas
and what came out of his mouth because
he could not
utter the curse what came out
ahmadi
he said just the opposite how good are
your tents yaakov referring to
schulz and bismedisches next part of the
medici
he wanted to say the shriners should not
dwell
upon the eden and what came out of his
mouth omari said
so he said just the opposite of of what
he wanted to say
here ends the message
so referring to not only one type of
tent but two
al ali taylor the tents of tato
and the twins atrila and the tens of
thriller
sitting in the tents plural in other
words
not just in the oil of terra or just in
the organ of trilla
but both in a tent of tita and a tent of
trilogy comes the question of a sort of
love in
london
why does it why does
the mechanic between but
ignacius and madrusha is vashra sashkina
and the dwelling
to two ideas right when you learn
the screen is here when you dive in the
screen is here so
really it's one indian it's one idea
and yet it says referring to the two
tenths of tehran trilla
and mishkin israel refers to the shrine
of dwelling
the implication is that's two separate
ideas the rapper's question is
it's not really two separate ideas they
go hand in hand
that's his question
he continues
if we take a look at the particulars he
attributes
shoes and base matters to yaakov to the
name
yaakov and yet he attributes the
dwelling of the shrine of
israel to israel to israel
so that's also why yaakov why
is bhatta madras symbolic nations for
yaakov
that name and
are miniature temples
and what do we and what do we say about
kobayashira
and on all ten people jews that get
together
rests upon who but they make their so
so so in other words when you have
a base agnes when you have shoes which
are miniature temples we know that jews
gather in a shoe
by the very fact that eating a gathering
a shoe you have to scream in there
and so too next line who bought a
medfish
study halls based messages hey
tata they are the tents of theater or
shreem shruisha
and the screen is found there so he
concludes his question
in cain of soul loma
how come
why does he divide the concepts into two
separate categories
that that one is both medicine based met
but they
can you see is about the mismatches the
other one
a general idea as i told you many times
the the mimer the hasidic mimer that
we'll learn
that we that we know from the alternate
to the rebels time
it's the meat and potatoes that we
address and somehow
the question and answer the questions
will be answered you know
in other words what we really are
looking for here is the
the the titan what the the subject
matter of the
of the most of the mimer and then the
questions okay we'll get them answered
and if we don't get them answered
it's not the end of the world that this
isn't this isn't you know like another
safer
which most by the way just for a second
most casitas forum
are on the parsha and therefore the
question and answer it departures is
most relevant
in this it's it's it's called div
it's word of the living god excelicus
it's godliness
as communicated through the sadiq to the
listeners
to to understand and use and avoid this
hashem
that's the objective of a mimer not to
answer a question
so it's very you know i know it's like
different western way of thinking is you
ask a question give me an answer
see this is very different
and and therefore it takes patience so
let's go on
let's understand first the following
days follow introduction
[Music]
it's written
he says from vacation seller you give it
to you the ones that fear you
nays like a flag or at least nice days
to to uplift
my naked cellar you've given them nays
has made
several interpretations you've given
something
to be proud with because
it's eternal open rashi explains
it is not a flag but raja interprets
nays
from the word noise trials and
tribulations
you have tested those that are fearful
of you
shall tell us how to be thank you very
much
rashi says that those that are yahoo
are given by hashem nissy noise in the
language here
sorry we have much problems many taurus
and the purpose is
[Music]
if they who will experience who
experienced that sarah is
will still stand by sekha with having
fear for you
very heavy but that's rashi's
interpretation on the verse
why does hashem give specifically they
echo the god-fearing eden
these trials and tribulations it's
to see if they're really if they really
are yet god-fearing
associated with the with the word
messian tests
trials and tribulations come so long
movements
yes yes
yes here
and therefore and therefore that i'm
going to pass
the test of the al-qaeda and therefore
hashem knew
that he feels correct correct yes
comes along with them thank you so this
is david peyton
matsuda's david has the commentary over
there and in to heal
him and he says
that nice has another meaning to exalt
to uplift
khanay's hagovoya
like the exalt the high
nice the high uh you know the flag and
the like kind of ship you have the uh i
forget what it's called but
yes yeah yeah when
you and the meatball and the snake came
i see him told moisture to put a snake a
cup of snake on a high hill and a high
place correct
and the word of the united nations
writing the
right to a sermon right
and and and the mature scene and foot
note 9
i believe refers to that person kane
sagavaya
like putting that that snake up high
everyone should see it anyway
you give you give to the ones that fear
you
haram on exaltedness and exaltation
with to be exalted
in the world the purpose rule
of delicious is to make the eden
exalted in the world
okay two conflicting meetings the
meetings
really converge they're both related
yeah that's true
that's true but it there's two it's two
different
one is nice milosevic and one is nice
and russian
okay now now i think that's going to say
what you're alluding to
next page page 19893
second word
both of these interpretations he says
are found in the meditation of fathers
nationalist naysayers
the madrid interprets this verse in
tehillim
test after test and then the madras ends
and then the madness uses the words
listen to the words
greatness after greatness so like rule
said
somehow the madrid puts the
interpretation of rashi
and the interpretation of matsuda and
together
greatness after greatness and the reason
for
having both of these ideas the tests and
greatness
is bishop berlin
the methodist is often the medici either
not either to it's for to test them
or also bishop a goblin by them to make
them greater amongst in the world
so bo the madness combines both
interpretations
[Music]
you see you understand what's what what
what's that called the the scene
n-a-s-t right the mask thank you i
forgot yes
the mast cannas
like the mast of a ship
okay now by the way
the master of a ship is not there to
test you it's there to
to make you great right but um whatever
he
in other words when he brings this kane
says
i believe that's specifically referring
to the second meaning
of the bishop of god
yes yaakov the other part of nase is
that it's a flag
so it's a banner what you raise up is
what you were
what is what the rev is saying that we
are
right right
but it also becomes our banner it
becomes our badge of honor right
no for one yeah but peter
now that ever brings a third meaning
next humility deflois
he says that the word nays also means
wonders
[Applause]
means that it's an act that yoni
transcends nature
now this is a third meaning why why the
third meaning
maisha why because the first two are
within teva right god forbid you have
service it's natural
and the point of excitement system made
to test you the idea of being great in
the world is in the world
the third interpretation of nace is le
myelomena
transcends nature because the third idea
of nasa is nephilimos
the flaws are miracles wonders
breaking teva breaking nature
that's what he says there are feasible
according to the third meaning of the
word nays
how would you interpret the posset
interhelium
which is by the way so the satellites
consisting of many sororities
it's in order to regulate to make them
great but islam in the world
can they shall swing them like the
masked
mast of a ship she nearestly made hook
that's seen very far in the distance
meaning that even in the abundant waters
of the ocean
which places fear
and tremble on those that are sitting in
the ship
and the middle of the ocean with the
waves and everything else
just as the mast of the ship stands
firm and it's it
and its strength
because it denotes exaltation
[Applause]
[Music]
they stand strong but they doesn't in
their service and avoid the potato
mitzvah's
miguel bitcoin because they have
tremendous
beta in trust
[Applause]
how can you do it because it comes from
that part of the neshama that transcends
nature
only with that cleopatra that's the
myelinate can you overcome shortest
robbies
otherwise you succumb otherwise
you can't handle it it's too much
otherwise
you question and you give up and there
so now what that effort did over here is
he's he's slapping the third and tempo
interpretation and the word nays
into the other two interpretations that
is making it all one concept
that those mission missions that's the
first meaning those tests
that its purpose is to make you great
and to by overcoming the
trials and tribulations how could you do
it
only if you have the third
interpretation of nays which is
miracles deploys within your soul
transcendence
with my limitative and you access that
you can overcome well commercial
so supposedly
hashem nisi
so the the sisk in the footnote 12 he
brings
that the siske rapper
[Music]
says that hashem
raised the eden to like a like the mast
of a ship right the point being like
this
why does it say hashem
it could say elo kim nisi right to say
the seven name
apostic says
in this based on the message that
it's the uk buff k which is la milam and
atev its transcendence
if you compare the name of elo kim to
to experience miracles
to experience transcendence it's only
with you k
buff game you have to live and act and
and and be utke the altered
heaven this mimer you should know has
its origins
it's a very famous mime of the altar in
the
torah i believe in that my motto
that the altar explains there and many
other places but
i believe there as well that the uk buff
gay is
in every single year yeah there's the
youth
the the decay is bina
the middle east and the last case the
malhus
so there's the head and there's the body
and there's the heart and there's the
feet
so in other words when we say to to
to emulate and to live youth cave of k
it doesn't mean uh like some abracadabra
mystical idea of course it's a mystical
idea but
it's it's in in us that we have
the abuse this youth gay
in ourselves and if we access
every letter of this barracuda in
ourselves we're able to overcome
and that is why i think yaakov mentioned
the other day but the krishna
we talk about the different
transgressions that we've done
and we say connected you're connected k
connected
connected k right we're asking for
forgiveness
that we made a blemish in the youth in
this mitzvah and decay in this mitzvah
i don't know for all of you say this but
take a look at in in the arizona city
brought in the khabar city
and you will see there's a four small
paragraphs
which says these things and and it is
better if you could say that every night
i'll cope on them but we understand from
this is that if it were to be
something that's not shyeth to us why
are we saying it
you know we're saying it because
the alternate because the traitor
believes and then
ariza believes that it is applicable to
you
and that every here does the same thing
hashem nisi
if the torah says hashem nisida believes
that man can access youth
gay to accomplish me see
wonders and and you know that this is
this is so important because who doesn't
have soros
you know a person doesn't have service
no anyone who who thinks that way
sorry is wrong okay everyone has an
issue
and and personal uh communal et cetera
et cetera
so when we have a tights like this
hashem nissi
it's a devonta support that the friday
cadet
is teaching us in a mimer that he said
in 1929
so many years ago and we're learning it
this morning today
in other words we can take the uk
wafkee and bring transcendence into our
life and
overcome this honest
and and hey this is very you know
consoling you know what i'm saying is
it's comforting
but more than just comforting it's
accessible
so you have to just you have to plug in
to youth cave of k yes yes
now wondering why the river doesn't make
the word nice which means miraculous
he says nice milotian flies
nobody is that that has another
connotation in this lord
yes okay okay so
first of all he might get into it late i
don't you know could be but
you know youngest is asking a a
question needs a little a little
background what it says in hasidis
there's a difference between
a nice that's an a nice a nas a miracle
and an ace that's in a manner of nifla
oat
a miracle in the way of wonders so he's
asking why doesn't it just say
nissim
and the answer is you're innocent
because for some of the terrorists that
we have
even an ace is not enough it's not a
joke it's it's surreal
it's it's not something that we we
should have
shown but there's sometimes such an
issue that that's so
tangling is so debilitating and so
difficult
that a regular miracle is not enough and
you have to have like a miracle like the
splitting of the red sea or something
that's the floyd's
that's totally transcendent you probably
learned
this in there my murama the rebel
there's a mimer of the rabbit that is
that he said i believe in 1951
yeah i think the first mimer you based
thomas that our rebels said in 1951
but if my recollection is correct it
begins with the plastic nicely
nice this this pasta and over there
there's a lot of language a lot of
discussion
about your point so i encourage you
a drew answers with a ques drew answers
at you with a question you asked me a
question
and i'm giving you homework learn that
miner
okay before we go on i want to know if
anyone has any questions uh
if everything's clear
i should need some water please okay if
everything's clear we'll go on
let's see how he develops the idea
base beijing and who
to understand this better did he make
see if it says
in devarim fascist a
to see if you have das
if you have common sense no hadas means
if you have knowledge if you really
believe in god
but uh you know let's get it also
includes hashem
tesla sometimes to see if we're on the
ball
we have common sense believe me many
times
that's just as important as having dos
and godliness
that appetizers and again this is
brought already in dalton rivers
my morning that through tests
through trials we come to experience
dos concentration in god
in godliness
through overcoming those things that
prevent
us may
and we overcome the obstacles
reach inaudible concentrating in god
lord hashem we don't mean here that's
just having information
we mean binding with god
i mentioned earlier the name elokim of
hashem it's a numerical equation
equivalent is like the numerical
equivalence of the word hotdeva
the nature which equals 86.
based on nature the
everything is divided to past present
and future ho yoho every year
but through experiencing tests and
trials and tribulations
we reach the
god which means the havaya we reach
not elo kim but we reach actually
utk buff k
however yeah turn the page top of 194
we have past present
and future all in one which is
it's not rational it's not logical it's
beyond nature
so in other words when it says listen to
the way the rep interprets the verse
you know why hashem tests us so that we
should experience
we can dust in god not just
a natural god but a transcendental god
because again only with that
reality of das and hashem
will we be able to overcome
these big terrorists
for you do what it's known who
what is it a test it is
that the spark of hashem that finds
itself
in that particular test is very
concealed
is very hidden and it looks like
moisture
what does it look like i can't do it
there's a river in front of me
hashem says go there and there i have to
go under the river and i'm going to
drown
well the river also has a spark of god
in it
but it's so concealed so what you have
to do is explore
dig up and find in the river that needs
to suddenly keep the godly spark
and then you'll succeed in crossing the
river
um
and as the famous rule is the handed
faces the sparks
that fell below i'll explain in a moment
yes that fell very low
but very low into this world hari
sharshan
their source who
is much higher who combined the example
that we give is christian
a a wall of bricks
he ne heaven the brick
the stone and the head of the at the top
of the wall
kissing they fell when it falls down
when the wall falls
when they fall it falls
much further away mina koisel
from the wall mickey my in comparison to
her heaven the stone who better
successful that's at the bottom of the
wall
who knows when it falls
and that you can see even today in the
southern wall of the castle
which you've been to and i've been to
right there's a lot of fall stones
and the arc the archaeologists study
them and there's a difference between
those that are very close to the wall
those that are further away
so one second so that what does that
ever say
he's saying the fact that these neat
sutras
these parts of hashem are so
dim that you don't even recognize that
it's from hashem
this trial and tribulation which is
there to test you
why is it that it's so
undetectable and unnoticeable that it's
from god
it's because it really comes from such a
high place in hashem
that when hashem had it
quote fall into the world it fell
very far away and it's not noticeable
and by the way this was the rebel and
the chabad's position
throughout the 60s and 70s i mean even
before
but then where
many people shunned the hippies
and and everything else and the rebels
said no
they have a very very deep place in
hashem
and it's so concealed go find it you'll
find
a great great diamond
hear that so i'm writing now about you
know the
bali chuva so i'm talking about it the
the that ebba's view of the whole
belgium
movement was from a totally different
place
it wasn't about just making someone
religious and making someone from
which is all important it's what we're
learning now
that that the shama of the person who's
gone so
far that he looks and feels like the
pariah
and and the one that everyone else shuns
that's him and her is where the you
should go get
get everyone but but they really
have something very special i tell the
story right
a friend of swooze not gonna say his
name a good friend
in the valley whenever yeshua gord josh
gordon homolysis and got naden what a
special yeed
he came out to the valley and they had
at the time in the seventies these
groups
you know khaburaz khabiraz was very big
and and he's teaching torah and
answering questions and for a chabad
rabbi this is like you know the best
that's why he was sent and there's
twenty thirty people there maybe shmoop
was there i don't know
anyway and everyone is sitting over
there and asking the husbands and wives
and people
and one guy sitting on the floor in
sweatpants and then robert gordon says
yes
he says no brother gordon says white he
says black and his mom is giving him
and like everyone is getting like a
little respect and gordon and gordon
held the school
and that person became such a bald truth
and such a habit
and you know in other words
the neshama was was was there and the
the fact that he's arguing and is being
obnoxious
okay you know i speak about hippies talk
about being obnoxious
it's the same thing in other words very
far
so much when your story the story with
the purim whenever was the shikuram came
in over there to age kodesh
you have to look at them they're you
know they're really outrageous but
that's that's really where we can
be magala than the shama it's in the
outrage
and and that was unique to to the
rebbe's approach to bali chuva
very unique in and that's why the rabbit
didn't see them you know the rabbi
yaakov never was against calling the
movement kiriva
heike because the rabbit said
he is and and your karate that's
arrogance
the rebbe used the term again today
the the the general belcher movement
uses the word
but the baba china was not was not for
that and he told people
not many people uh he told george roy
and he told the different rabbis
um and he told the the rava russia the
former one rabbi lao
rabbi rao came
and he said he said to the rabbit that
there's a lot of cure for hiking
movements and urges role
and the rubber stopped him right there
he says rabbit loud
they're not recycling it's not kira
rachen
so what are we in habad what do we use
the word
the dissemination of the wellsprings to
the outside
or if you have to say it in one word
hafzah is the buzzword in the chabad
lexicon
which denotes what the world calls kirov
but it's a whole different genre
and ethos what what we mean and and both
are important they're not traffic show
them you know
knocking anyone but i'm just saying it's
a whole different mahalak
you're looking for the neshama then the
summer is very deep and that's what i'm
just saying this as
examples what the rabbit speaks about
missionaries here
and he says that the mitsuitsas
are much further distant that's then so
the
the moyes the examples i gave are
situations which are much more distant
but yet over there specifically is the
kavana
and that's the way we need to look today
at the youth and with all the issues
and with this we're going to have better
results if we look at the situations
that it's ice that are very dim
and very dark but they're there we're
gonna say we're gonna have much more and
that's what
that's what these these young people are
looking for the the love
and the acceptance and ultimately they
they they grow they they grow
in a healthy way however have a great
day we'll see everyone tomorrow
this is
